It just sounds like you need a little time apart from one another which isn't bad or wrong. There are times where I need space for my friends but I tell them that I need space and that I'll talk to them when I feel better. Just tell her the situation... don't tell her she is annoying...tell her you just need some space...because ignoring her is going to make the situation worse!

Q: i'm a sophomore in college and my roomie is extremely self-conscious about herself. She had an issue in 7th grade with bullying and she hasn't been able to let it escape her. She's afraid to do anything weird in public because she cares what people think of her a ton. She always feels people are talking about her if they're whispering by her or texting. She doesn't think boys will ever like her (she says she's giving up even though boys have liked her here, and she had a boyfriend in high school for almost 2 years). Anything I or our two other friends tell her don't help. She just doesn't believe us. She always says how she needs to step outside her box and stop caring so much, but she can't. I don't know how to help her because nothing I say is helping. HELP! -

Sadly there is nothing you can't really do! No matter what you do or say she will still have the same thoughts as before...in this case, she should go talk to a counselor or something at your college. By talking to someone it may help her out and help her to figure out some strategies she can use to overcome this. I know you want to help her and you're a nice friend for wanting to but you can't. Just support her and if she needs someone to listen be there for her!

Q: Me and my bestfriend get in fights over the most stupid things! At first I think she's joking, but then I can see she's not! I really love her as my friend, but the fights make MY life worse! What should I do?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

That sounds like me and my best friend! I tend to joke with her a bit and it's hard for her to see if I'm joking or not. Talk to her about it...maybe suggest to her if you're really serious with me can you let me know. If you two are friends you should be able to tell her anything...and she should understand. This question makes me look at myself and I realize I need to change the way I joke towards my friends sometimes. I should be serious when I need to be serious in some situations! Great question!!

Q: i have always had trouble with self esteem. and i know that i do have pretty qualities but i have trouble embracing them. how can i make myself feel pretty and stop picking away at all my flaws?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Its tough...because I still do that to myself... people have told me that I'm pretty, beautiful, and what have you but for some reason, I still pick at myself. I pick at myself more days then others its just a constant battle! No one is perfect and therefore people tend to pick out flaws instead of picking those out though we should try to embrace the good. I look at how lucky I am...and I try to be as kind to others... I try not to care about my looks as much as I can. There is no way for me to tell you how to stop picking at your flaws...but maybe by focusing on the good qualities, it may take you away from the "flaws".

Q: I have this friend she's a very good friend till know we were hanging out then out. Of nowhere she said that she has problems. Because of that she doesn't get what she wants cause of me and that she hates how I talk to every one I just don't get it what's wrong with her not to be mad i'm just saying she can't go blaming. People for her problems were no longer talking should I be the one to say something first even if I think I had all the right to get mad right I don't know what to do I'm lost
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

It sounds like to me that she is a very jealous person and that she only has you as a friend. She sounds like she depends on only you which is not very healthy. I have in the past had problems with friends and I've walked away from them and ignored them figuring that they would be coming running after me because I thought they would know what they did wrong. In that case, I was the one that was wrong...I should have as a friend told them what was going on. It's great that she is expressing to you that she has problems but is she giving you any solutions or have you two talked it out with one another? Has she just been completely unreasonable for being mad at you? Maybe talk to her and as her why she's so mad you should be able to do that if she is your good friend. If these problems keep up though and nothing get fixed...then I would say you should maybe stop being friends. Being friends is just as hard as a relationship you go through your bad and good times but you need to be able to come to some sort of agreement and if you can't then its time to move on and hang out with other people. Hope it works out!

Q: im starting to fall for this sweet/funny kid in my classes at school, we sit next to each other and he's very nice to me all the time. i really want to get to know him better- but he's really popular... not stuck up popular... but popular as in not the crowd i usually hang out with everyday. i know the people he is usually with at an okay relationship, but other than that our social lives are completely different. im really shy and i cant "hang out" with him or anything because we arent that close yet. he seems like someone i could really trust, but im not sure if it's worth the chance of even bothering. advice?

Q: I wish someone could explain to me how one summer changed everything a few weeks into school a new person came to my school and none of my friends liked her then it was a chain reaction. First they wouldn't talk to me, then my other friends didn't like me hanging out with different people and making me pick sides. I wish i could just go back to last year where everyone like each other. If anyone could please tell me wut to do so i don't lose all my friends
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

i suggest that you tell your friends how you feel! maybe they feel they will lose you as a friend if you make a new friend and they probably don't want to involve your new friend in their friendship with you! as for when they weren't talking to you i think it was maybe the fact that they were thinking they were going to be replaced by this "new" friend of yours! again just tell them how you feel and let them know you still wanna be friends but you want to be able to make new friends! and if they can't understand that then their not worth having as friends!!

Q: I met a guy almost 5 years ago who was everything I could have ever wanted. He was perfect in every way for me...then we lost touch. We were too shy to keep in touch, but for awhile after we left each other...I can't stop thinking about how perfect it was. What do I do now?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
what was the reason you lost touch? do you have his phone number? do you know where he lives? Do u know his sn or email? if you do then email him or call me and just say how much you have missed him and how much you would love to get together! But if you have no way to contact him then I suggest you 4get about him and go on with your life and meet other guys!! if you 2 are meant to be then fate and your love for each other will reunite you in the future!!

You should definitely look into taking a class at your local hospital so you can show your clients you are an authorized babysitter!! If you want people to hire you to post signs all over the neighborhood with permission of course... ask your family members if they ever need a babysitter than your their girl!! You can charge by the hour or just charge a reasonable amount for your services... such as I charge 20 or 25 dollars for all the work I did!!

Well, maybe this is the time to play the field see what your options are. Think about what is going to make you happy. Flirt a little. It's okay to not know what you want and maybe since you're single this is the time to figure out what you really want. I went through a period where I was trying to figure out if I liked guys or girls. I think everyone goes through a time where they are experimenting and such. I weighed the pros and cons and thought about what I really wanted. Point blank you have to be happy with yourself first so don't assume that when you find someone they will make you happy because that's not the way it works. 'Happiness comes from within' and that's the honest truth. Be patience and think about what is going to make you happy! Good luck!

Q: so, my friend is going through a really hard time, she tried to commit suicide, and she's getting really depressed. her mom doesn't pay any attention to her.. she used to be the peppy sunshiny person, now she just puts on a mask... I know what it's like I used to be the same way.... I keep telling her to talk to people, then I suggested for her to change up her normal life and listen to some songs she never would consider (my kind of music) and i'm just wondering... what else can i do for her?
|

|
|
|

Well first off you are truly a great friend to her and by asking what you can do shows how good a friend you are to her. Sadly there isn't much you can do besides be there for her and listen to her. Support her and let her know that you will always be there for her. She should really try talking to someone but you can't force her too. Obviously, if you know somethings going on tell someone. Are you close to her mom? What about your parents? Maybe talk to your parents or talk to her mom and let them know whats going on. This situation is serious and shouldn't be taken lightly.

Q: I'm M/16. I'm a Junior in HS. I used to be good at school. My gpa was 83 in freshman year. In sophomore year my gpa went down to a 69, by the end I got it up to 79. This year has been okay but, I just don't want to do homework. I pay attention & do class work but I don't feel the same. I'll get home, play video games & research random things on the net. At around 11pm I'll look at my homework and just put it back in my bag. Then I'll end up going to bed at around 1am, fall asleep by 3am, and wake up at 5:30am. I've tried to sleep earlier and I just can't. Its like I've lost motivation & will power. I have nothing tol look forward to. Then I'll try in school but they think I'm dumb. I'm not the same, I used to help people with work & stuff. I had my first chemistry test & got a 50, even though almost all answers were right. Thats a disgrace, I loved science, I used to get streaks of 100's in earth science. I just feel lazy more than ever. I'm always tired too. How am I going to get into college if I go on?

Things happen and as you get older things change. When I was in middle school I was in my room for hours after school doing my homework. My parents would have to pull me out of my room to take a break. I worked my butt off to get my stuff done in middle. When I got to high school things changed and so did my priorities. I didn't do as much homework and it wasn't because I didn't care I just didn't have the motivation and I found things that were more important to me. It doesn't make you a bad person even though I know you feel bad about it. I have to ADD so when I need to do work I try to concentrate on what I need to get done and then take 15 minute breaks in-between. When you get home to sit in a place where there are no distracts and focus on the task at hand. When you feel yourself getting tired or bored take a 15-minute break and then after that go back to the work. As far as sleeping goes try not to do so much on the computer when its near bedtime. I find the computer keeps me up later than I should and if I don't get the right amount of sleep in the morning I don't function as well as I should. Are you a junior this year? It's time to change this habit around and if you want it bad enough you'll get it done. Have confidence in yourself!

Q: Boy's want my sister but not me. Don't know if it's cause of age(I'm 14 and she's 16) or what. But a lot of people say I look a lot like her (I can't see that) Why can't I get a boy? For girl's only....thanks anyway.
|

|

|
|
|

First, off you shouldn't be comparing yourself to your sister. You two are different people! Never compare yourself to someone else because no one is like you and you no one ever will be like you. I call this the "boy crazy syndrome". It's all about finding a boyfriend and having a boyfriend. Why do you want a boyfriend? Do you think it's going to make you feel better? Do you want one because your sister may have one? Why are you asking why you can't get a boy? Do you think you're not good enough? Don't put yourself down because you can't find a guy. It's not you, its just you haven't found him or maybe he hasn't found you. Don't worry about it too much. Just have fun for right now!

Q: urgent I'm a female 15 yes and this afternoon I had sex with my boyfriend. The condom was pretty tight and he was afraid that a bit of cum may have leaked out into me.But neither of us were sure and it might not have done, I daren't tell anyone I told my friend but she can't come with me I'm at work tomorrow and have no money as it's a sunday the youth clinic isn't even open and I don't know what to do should I leave it or what?! Monday and tuesday I have doctors appointments already and my mums taking me so I can't go to see the doctor then what should I do?!"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Well, you have two options. Go to the clinic Monday and if you are really worried ask them for the day after pill. I believe you have up to five days to take it. Or you could speak to your doctor about it at your appointment and tell her your concern. You tell your doctor it's confidential and that way your mother is not involved. The doctor is not allowed to tell your mother anything if it's confidential. Maybe call the doctor's office ahead of time and see if you can speak to your doctor. Don't panic I'm sure its nothing but try either going to the clinic or talking to your doctor as soon as possible!

I was stick girl in middle school and junior high. I understand what you mean. We all develop different I didn't finish puberty until I was in senior year of high school. And then after I finished I wished I could go back to the way I was before. I know its bothersome sometimes but try to ignore it the best you can. You're young. Enjoy it! Don't rush it. And if people continue to say something don't bother answering back. The only reason they criticize is that they either are unhappy with themselves or they want you to argue with them.. Silence will give them nothing to work with and sooner or later they'll stop.

Q: I am a junior in high school. Although everyone says it's time to get serious once one reaches junior year, somehow I don't know how to adjust to it. I can be very lazy and seem to be pretty "chill" about this year. I don't seem to give a crap for the life of me and I just can't get my mind focused and out of the "summer zone", the zone where I just don't care about anything. I feel so shitty. I feel like already I am going no where in life! At all! I don't know what I want to do after high school, and I just feel so lost. I realize everyone probably feels this way sometime in high school or later in life, or even earlier, but I just feel so...ugh. I don't even think I can afford college. Not that I am putting excuses on others, but my childhood was very difficult. My father was never there to teach me or tell me about life in high school, and I was never raised to be independent, anyway. Half the time, my mother was going crazy, and she sunk down into a deep depression, as was I when my father abandoned us. Up until freshman year, my life was very dramatic and lonesome. I don't know anything about financial things, or even living on my own for that matter. I feel like a sorry excuse for a teenager and like I will never be able to live on my own and handle myself. I am very forgetful, lazy, and indecisive. I have difficulty paying attention and I try to stay focused and get what I need done, but I don't have much motivation. I'm smart at times and I have so many goals, I also love to write and stuff, but I never figured out what I want to do in life. I need some guidance. I feel scared to go to my parents about this, and I just can't find anything to ease my worrisome thoughts.

I know right now it's tough and it seems hopeless but you have to push yourself sometimes. We all do things that we don't want to but sometimes you have to push yourself in order to get the things you want. When I was a junior in high school I had no idea what I wanted to do and guess what I've been out of high school for 5 years and I still don't know. That's okay. I'm trying to figure out what I want I'm still young I'm not married and I don't have kids. I have the freedom to figure out what I want and explore. In high school, I feel the pressure they put on students is that you have to know what you want and guess what not everyone does and that's ok. I use to sit near this girl in class when I was in junior high and she had goals and always knew what she wanted. Fact of the matter is that there are very few people like that. Think about the positives and think about you possibly would want to do. Try out new things and maybe work in retail see if you like that or maybe work in healthcare and see if you like that. Whatever you find appealing "attack it" and go for it and do the best that you can Life is like a mini-mall of opportunities that awaits you. Believe me, you're not alone and I'm sure if you ask your peers how they feel most of them would be able to relate to what you're feeling. Think about it, if money weren't an issue what would you want to do? As far as your childhood is difficult, we all go through struggles in our lives is how we overcome them. We are all dealt a hand of cards in our lives it's how we play them that matters. I understand how you are feeling all to well and I'm working on making myself happy. I'm not where I want to be but I'm getting surely but slowly I'm getting there. "Life is a journey, not a race" Think positive and believe me I know its hard but you'll get through it and eventually things will work out. Good luck!

Q: Im 13 and female. I know what your going to say, you're gonna say its just a teenage phase im going through. Id believe that if i hadn't been thinking this since i waz 4. So lemme start my story. Im scene, just saying, most ppl call it emo. But my parents dont get scene so they just think imma freak. How can i get them to understand im not emo anymore?
|
|

You shouldn't have to explain who you are to them. Your parents will accept you for who you are and what you're about. So you're a scene kid who cares you want to be a scene kid go ahead. Whether its a phase or not you have the right to express yourself whichever way you want. I'm sure your parents don't think you're a freak. I still butt heads with my mother on the way I dress. I sometimes like to dress in a tank or halter top and she doesn't like it. Guess what? It's who I am and my style is the way I express myself. No one is going to tell me how to dress, what kind of makeup to wear, or even how I do my hair. Be YOU! Be PROUD!
